Part 1 of 10: Looking Back to the Beginning

The final season of The Bubble Hour begins by looking back at the orgins of the show. Ellie and Lisa unfolded this project in 2012 with no idea if anyone would even listen. Soon pal Amanda helped out on and off the air, and many others joined as callers and guests. What started out as a bit of fun soon grew into a recovery tool helping people around the globe feel connected. Staying sober is a little easier with friends to lean on, and The Bubble Hour hosts and guests became allies in recovery to listeners everywhere.

Part 3 of 10: The Hosts

Over the past decade, Bubble Hour listeners came to know our five hosts like old friends. Ellie and Lisa started the show and were soon joined by Amanda. Catherine and Jean joined at the end of Season 2. The five voices appeared in various combinations over the years, with Jean hosting solo for the past few seasons. This epsiode looks back on the evolution of the show, the hosts, and their relationships with one another and the listeners and guests.

Part 4 of 10: Perfectly Imperfect

Where we would be without a little imperfection and a whole lot of laughs? The Bubble Hour podcast usually ran smoothly, but we certainly had our share of goof-ups and giggles! Technical issues, tongue twisters, dropped calls, on-air surprises. No matter what happened we took it in stride and the show carried on. This episode is a bit of fun as we look back on the lighter side of podcasting over the years. Somehow we still managed to turn those moments of calamity into a reminder that we stay sober, no matter what!
